Inventor: EGGERS PHILIP E
IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 1996-11-19
Abstract: An electrosurgical probe (10) comprises a shaft (13) having an electrode array (58) at its
distal end and a connector (19) at its proximal end for coupling the electrode array to a
high frequency power supply (28). The shaft includes a return electrode (56) recessed
from its distal end and enclosed within an insulating jacket (18). The return electrode
defines an inner passage (83) electrically connected to both the return electrode and the
electrode array for passage of an electrically conducting liquid (50). By applying high
frequency voltage to the electrode array and the return electrode, the electrically
conducting liquid generates a current flow path between the return electrode and the
electrode array so that target tissue may be cut or ablated. The probe is particularly
useful in dry environments, such as the mouth or abdominal cavity, because the
electrically conducting liquid provides the necessary return current path between the
active and return electrodes.

Abstract: It has been discovered that ammonia and amines are useful to increase the pH
and corrosion resistance of high density brines, such as zinc bromide brines, without
significantly reducing their densities. The ammonia or amine additive is preferably
incorporated by contacting the brine with the additive which is in the vapor phase.
Optionally, a substituted carboxylic acid, such as hydroxy carboxylic acid, may be used
to increase the amount of ammonia or amine that can be included in the high density
brine without precipitation of salts.

IPC: G06F11/14

Abstract: A redundant system (20) comprises a first unit (21), a second unit (22), and a synchronization server (24). The first unit (21) and a second unit (22) each include plural state machines (SMs) for performing tasks. At least some of the state machines provided at the first unit simultaneously perform same tasks as at least corresponding ones of some of the state machines provided at the second unit. When a state machine of the second unit needs to be resynchronized, the synchronization server (24) receives a resynchronization request (2-1) from the resync requesting state machine of the second unit and thereupon provides an out-of-synchronization indication (2-2) to a corresponding state machine of the first unit. In response to the out-of-synchronization indication (2-2) from the synchronization server, the corresponding state machine of the first unit generates a resynchronization request (2-3) at a time deemed appropriate by the corresponding state machine. In response to the resynchronization request (2-3) from the corresponding state machine, the synchronization server issues a resynchronization command (2-4) to both the resync requesting state machine of the second unit and the corresponding state machine of the first unit, thereby causing simultaneous resynchronization. At least one of the first unit and the second unit includes restart logic that prescribes an order of restart of the plural state machines, thereby providing a gradual start up of the state machines of the redundant units. Thereafter each of the plural state machines controls its own resynchronization.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for achieving slot synchronization in a Wideband CDMA system in the presence of large initial frequency errors. A FSC matched filter having a reduced coherence window is provided for reducing degradation of a symbol due to carrier phase rotation resulting from oscillator error, thereby preventing severe loss of signal energy at the peaks of the FSC matched filter output. Additionally, a circular sliding integrator is provided to combine the accumulated disbursed signal energies due to the oscillator error and multipath interference, thereby allowing easier identification of the time index representing the time slot boundary. Further, a sorter is provided for determining a predetermined number of time index candidates representing the time slot boundary, thereby increasing the possibility that the true time index boundary is sent to the second stage of synchronization.

Abstract: Fluid and air nozzle assemblies are capable of propelling streams of a cleaning fluid and air mixture onto a vehicle headlight. These nozzle assemblies are mounted on a vehicle adjacent to the headlights and positioned such that liquid and air jets from the nozzles intersect prior to engaging the headlight to form a spray mixture that cleans the headlight. These nozzle assemblies have an adjustment feature for the purpose of aiming the fluid-air spray toward the headlight lens. The nozzle assemblies are associated with a control valve capable of connection in a pressurized air system on the vehicle and in the pressurized washer system for the windshield wipers and also capable of automatically directing liquid from the vehicle washer system and pressurized air on the vehicle to the liquid and air nozzles to form a headlight cleaning function upon manual activation of the pressurized windshield washer system of the vehicle.
